EDETORTAL NOTES.

Sixteen Anglo Indian girl compositors and 8 woman proofreader now find employment on the Bombay Gazette. It is the first occasion in India's history where woman's worth has received recognition.
 There is real public spirit is some of the western towns. A citizen of San Diego, California, rather the worse for liquor, upon hearing that the town had everything neees- sary for boom except hanging, promptly suspended himself by the neck. His self sacrificing spirit was not appreciated and he was cut down.
 The municipality of St. Petersburg has de- cided to permit two rows of trees in all the streets which are more than twenty-three metres broad. There are sixty-fve such streets in the city. The Dutch linden tree will be selected for this purpose as being best adapted to the climate of St. Petersburg and the most rapidly growing trees. It is esti- mated that the cost will be twentw-five rubles per tree, or 625, ,oOO rubles in all, as about s5, ,000 trees will be required.
 A solution of the domestic question, off, fered by a correspondent of the London Times, is that domestic work shall be taken in hand by an army of trained assistants, both male and female, whose financial and social position and individual independence should be that of trained artisans. A dis trict kitchen would furnish meals to 8 neigh borhood, and staff of organized housemaids might be brought under the management to o1o fho oIr ha hoda at
 The Atlanta Constitution does not hesitate to say that it regards the system of educa' ton in the State of Georgia before the war as preferable to that which now prevails schools were private schools, it is true, but there was not child so poor but that it might be educated by the county. In this way education was much more general among the whites in Georgia than it is to-day, and the schools themselves were more efficient than the schools of to-day" If this is true it doesn't show much progress.
 The business outlook is generally good. The fall trade in New York has opened we'll. The Chicago Times says that "thus far the Chicago merchants have sold many millions of dollars worth of goods in excess of last year" In St. Louis there has been an ex- pansion in general trade. The Baltimore Manufacturers Record says that the outlook for business continues very favorable. In Savannah there is more confident feeling. In San Francisco there is expected good business from now on "despite anything that may happen" and of the same import is the view of the Charleston, S. O., News.
 The Nordenfel5, a submariene torpedo boat named after the inventor, was given 8 successful trial at Constsntinople recently. She is operated by steam, which renders her more liable to internal disarrangement and leakage when in collision than if electricity or other motive power were used, and other parts of her machinery indicate complica- tion of mechanism liable to become disor- dered The craft proved powerful, however, in the strong current of the Bosphorus, and was readily maneuvered. Experiments showed she could be submerged thirty feet, and that her crew could live several hours under water with the supply of air in her hull.
 The views of leading newspaper men of New York on the subject of the employment of women in journalism have been obtained by correspondent of the Pittsburg Dispatch. They are thus summarized: MT. Charles A. Dana said. "As men have been educated to the business, they are always preferable to women who have not" H also thought that woman journalists are not regarded with ed- itorial favor in New York. Dr. Hepworth, sditor of the Herald, stated that only one was employed on that paper, because the work they could properly do was limited. MT Miller of the Times had heard city edi- tors say they were bother, and he added: "We have so many experienced men who come to New York that we don't care to en- courage women." Col. Cockerill of the World did not encourage women because he was de luge1 with good men who were unemployed. What women were fitted for was 50 limited that man was of far greater service. MT. Coates of the Mail and Express had found from experience that women's services on g paper were invaluable, but for general all around work they were unavailable. Mr. Nor
